Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006064146A1] A cooling system for an indwelling heat exchange catheter includes a heat exchange bath that is configured to receive a conduit that carries saline to and from the catheter. A heating/cooling fluid is in the bath and exchanges heat with the saline. A pump circulates the patient coolant to and from the catheter. The bath is kept at a minimum temperature and the pump stopped, with the pump being started immediately upon receiving a signal indicating that the patient's temperature is rising above a desired setpoint.
